SUMMARY: A 35-acre oyster reef named after the late Tony Trapani is being built in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, by The Nature Conservancy. This project aims to replenish the Gulf Coast’s oyster population, which suffered due to both natural and man-made disasters. Over 11,000 limestone “pods” are utilized in its construction to enhance the reef’s resilience against environmental pressures like low oxygen levels and freshwater inundations from spillway openings. The complex structure of the reef, which is off-limits to harvesting, promises to provide a thriving habitat for oyster larvae, boosting local oyster stock, promoting biodiversity, and supporting the area’s recreational fishing industry. The initiative is funded by several foundations and aims to extend the reef to over 40 acres, reflecting a broader commitment to preserving and enhancing coastal ecosystems for both ecological health and economic benefits.

SUMMARY: Craving an Italian sub, I decided to make one at home since the nearest restaurants are far. The key is finding good bread with a crunchy crust, and local options like Henry’s Café, Le Bakery, and Rouses provide decent choices, though I prefer to hollow them out slightly. For the filling, classic ingredients include lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, pepperoni, capocollo, genoa salami, and cheeses like provolone or taleggio. For a budget-friendly sub, I’d recommend veggies, pepperoni, and seared mortadella with a drizzle of olive oil and a quick oven warm-up to melt the cheese. Don’t skimp on the meat!
